In early June, the acetic acid market weakly declined, and enterprise quotations continued to fall. On the supply side, the utilization rate of acetic acid production capacity has increased, enterprise inventory has accumulated, and operators have a strong intention to ship; In terms of demand, downstream consumers tend to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, with a small amount of purchases following up on demand. The trading atmosphere in the market is light, and acetic acid holders are experiencing poor shipments, resulting in a continuous decrease in acetic acid prices.
As of June 11th, the market prices of acetic acid in various regions are as follows:

At the end of last month, methanol prices fell to a low level, and downstream entry enthusiasm increased. Holders of goods were optimistic.

The downstream acetic anhydride market is weak and declining. On June 11th, the average ex factory price of acetic anhydride was 43925.0 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.13% compared to the price of 4442.50 yuan/ton on June 1st.

Market forecast: According to the acetic acid analyst from Shengyi Society, the current supply of acetic acid in the market is increasing, and there is greater pressure on suppliers to ship. Downstream demand is limited, and the enthusiasm for purchasing goods is not high. The market supply and demand game is expected, and the short-term acetic acid market is expected to be weak. Specific attention should be paid to changes in equipment and downstream follow-up.
